Description

Ririd (Rodhri) ap Carwet, Welshman.
Name(s)

Addressees

Nature of request

Note
Dated to c. 1322-24 by Rees, Petitions Relating to Wales pp.130-31, on the grounds that it probably dates from after Roger Mortimer's surrender to the crown in 1322 (other related petitions mention Mortimer's part in the petitioner's expulsion from his gorce). This is supported by CCW 1244-1326 p.556, which mentions a writ dated 10 February 15 Edward II (1322), which is the result of a petition on this subject, which blames Mortimer. This petition would seem to be contemporary with, or later than, that one, and would certainly seem to be earlier than the enrolment of the related petition in CCW 1244-1326 p.556, which is dated 27 June 1324.
